1625890927 Air Filter Element Intake Cartridge For Rotary Screw Air Compressor

Product Introduction

Clean intake air protects the whole lube circuit, not just the airend. 1625890927 is carried across parts channels as a screw compressor intake air filter element, with cross references 1630890997 and 1837001883 listed by suppliers . Pleated media strips dust and airborne grit before air reaches the rotors, bearings, oil filter, and separator, keeping intake restriction low and FAD stable.

A loaded element steals power before it looks dirty—intake vacuum rises, output drops, and contaminant load moves downstream into the oil system. Change on running hours or at the restriction indicator, sooner in dusty or humid sites. Never blow it out and reuse; cleaned media loses capture efficiency and seal edges can bypass unfiltered air.

Match OD, ID, height, gasket position, and housing clamp to the removed cartridge. Clean the intake box, remove old gasket residue, and seat the element squarely so there is no gap. Also called air filter element, intake filter cartridge, compressor air filter, inlet filter.
